JAKARTA - If usually new singers come from talent search events, this time is different. Starting from a hobby of singing, Kintan who is a journalist and official MC started his first step in the music world.
With the spirit and courage to do new things, Kintan plunged into the recording world with an upbeat song. He chose to debut with a dance-like song in the 2000s with the title Lets Dance.
Kintan told the initial spark that he had a desire to become a singer. From participating in karaoke competitions, he tried to maximize the opportunities that came to him.
"At first, I was just kidding around in the karaoke competition between journalists, thank God I won second place. Then Mas Eko was offered to sing one of the songs. From there, I finally tried to take it seriously," said Kintan in a written broadcast, March 2.
Kintan admitted that he often sang ballads, but here he wanted to try to push himself. Somewhat different from female soloists who play with sad songs, he actually invites the audience to dance.
"This is really out of my comfort zone. Usually ballads, I'm even asked to sing upbeat songs because I like dancing. "Said mas Eko, the challenge must be tried so that it can develop," he said.
The challenge of bringing a fast-tempo song made him a little overwhelmed. However, the recording process went quickly in about three hours.
Kintan thanked Cadazz Pustaka Musik, the label that took care of him and gave him the opportunity to explore.
"Mas Eko from CPM dared to give me a chance who was still learning. Here it's not just about money, but about supporting each other, listening, and growing together. Not all labels have that kind of atmosphere," he said.
Speaking of dance songs, Yanda Bebeh as a producer and songwriter said he was inspired by energetic K-Pop music.
"The inspiration for this song comes from the phenomenon of K-pop music which is so dominant and popular in Indonesia. The nuances of K-pop which are catchy, energetic, and easy listening become the main foundation in building the character of "Lets Dance", a song that is easy to sway and dance on the dance floor", added Yanda Bebeh.
Lets Dance carries a simple message, namely the courage to express happiness through body movements.
"This song is about spirit. Don't hesitate to express happiness through body movements. As hard as it is, dancing makes you happy. Many people unconsciously dance when they are happy, so don't hesitate to be happy, move your body, and let's dance!" concluded Kintan.
